I know it has gloss body parts, but the other side is completely flat black along w/ the rear.
not much help, but meh. You can see the front bumper and it's flat black.

That's correct.
They're a real p.i.t.a. to apply and need someone who has a hand for it.

There are plenty of cars, such as the ones you posted, that have vinyls.

That famous "satin black" GTR is one of them that used a vinyl.

Let me show you :

This is an audi w/ a "carbon" design.
They have some cool designs, but the flat black is the most prevalent.

I saw this on a debadged IS 350 at the car show my fraternity hosts yearly...best looking car there IMO. It wont in the Asian class.

Flat black vinyl is the best looking flat black IMO, and I'm going to guess it preserves the paint underneath it. Other than price,it seems like a win win situation
